The idea of HPSA Acumen began in 1997 when Marijka E. Eeuwes, president and founder of HPSA Acumen, was a hospital planner and completing her first HPSA for St. Vincent'sHospital in Erie, PA. It was further reinforced while working as a planner at Kaleida Health in Buffalo, NY. It was apparent to her that hospitals across the U.S. would need help with the application process due to the size and complexity of these projects.

A unique balance of efficient data management, knowledge and understanding of government guidelines, and accuracy of acquiring physician data has given us an edge in the field. Attention to detail has proven paramount to our success. Our firm has recently expanded to include:

CHNAs (Community Health Needs Assessments) that reveal the real health problems and not the imagined. The findings are delivered in a creative presentation that may be used by the community to create programs for Healthy Lifestyle changes.

Our studies evaluate all current services in the healthcare system
and assess the services that may be missing
in order to support the Medical Home Model.

Studies to assess shortages in the primary care and specialist markets.

Evidence based assessments to evaluate where the gaps are in the healthcare delivery system.

The mission of HPSA Acumen

Our mission is to strengthen the health of communities in the United States through the orchestration of HPSA designations. Benefits that flow from HPSA designations help medical service areas increase access to care for the marginalized and underserved. This program aids in the recruitment of highly qualified physicians, assists clinicians with medical education loan repayment, and builds revenue through grant funding and increased reimbursement. Through these designations, we join the effort to provide access to the necessary healthcare that every American deserves.
